A história não fluiu pra mim, ela parecia travada demais, aí quando chegou nas últimas 50 páginas, parece que o autor quis apressar a história mas não ficou bom

I was gifted a copy of the audiobook narrated by Kim Bretton to judge for the Indie Ink Awards for Best Audio Narration. Sad I don’t own it now because the cover is too damn good.
This was amazing. You get sucked right into a world utterly different from ours. It makes you want to know more and more. It’s transformative with action that lights up visually. The world is very Asian inspired. Kind of like ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’-esque with the action styling. But with vengeful reanimated spirits throughout!
The author does a great job with a group of completely different characters. They do learn and grow, but they are also so definitely themselves through the story. My favorite is ‘The Whispering Blade’, Itami Cho. Her character has personality and purpose and she was such a cool fighter.
The narration is absolutely top notch. The narrator’s accent and voices are perfect for the distinct characters she’s bringing to life. You can tell who’s talking right by the voice she’s doing and that’s pretty unique. I would 10/10 recommend going the audio route.
Personally a 5/5*. I need more. And again, I’m really loving this new age run of short fantasy books!
